It's the last Monday in October, and that means there are just two months left in 2024. What this also means is the ZineMonth is just around to corner. I will be doing the interview series I have done for the past (three now, I think?) years, highlighting zine creators and their projects, and...

Funding is wrapping up on a book compiling many (but not all) of the classes I've written for OSE. BX Advanced -- Player Options for Old School Gaming

Welcome to the News Roundup for the third week in October. I don't know about you, but it sure feels like to me that the weeks are flying by, and before long we're going to be into 2025. I'd mentioned the GoFundMe for Howard Andrew Jones, fantasy author and gamer, and I'd like to mention it...

I'd like to start off this issue of the Roundup letting everyone know that Sabre is planning a gaming convention next summer to celebrate our birthday. Right now we're looking at SabreCon2025 to occur the weekend of the 4th of July, July 4th-6th, in downtown Charlottesville. We'll be parterning...

It's October, and here in Central Virginia it has finally stopped raining and it feels like fall is here, bringing along with it Halloween. Along those lines, another Todd is hosting a Headless Halloween Game Jam on itch. There are some nice prizes for those who participate. It felt like...

I may have been watching Avatar when I came up with them. I've been enjoying creating the -folk.

I've just launched a Backerkit project for a compiled 320+ page of supplemental material for Old School Essentials and other OSR-style games, including a bunch of new classes, spells, a simplified skill system, rules of researching spells, crafting magical items, and founding temples, expanding...

Welcome to the News Roundup for September 30th, the last day (and Monday) of the month. We've had nothing but rain here for the last two weeks, it seems, and I hope that everyone reading this in North Carolina is safe. I'm sure long-time readers may be aware that one of my goals with this...

My first failed project in over twenty. Was bound to happen at some point. I'm working on a blog post addressing this, about how to get back on the horse and move on after a failure.

Welcome to the third news roundup in September. I don't usually promote works that have been released in the past, but would like to make an exception. Davide Quatrini reached out to me a few weeks ago (sorry this is late), asking me to mention their work. They've released a half-dozen titles...

Well, the project wasn't going to fund, based on pledges thus far, so I've canceled it and revised the project to just include the workbook. The daily tear-away calendar really locked me into a high pledge goal, since I had to order a minimum of 1,000 units of those. My goal is to do the...

With the month half over we're plunging straight into fall here, and I'm seeing more and more horror-themed releases, which is only appropriate. One thing I'd like to mention for any publishers out there: I've mentioned before that I won't be promoting products that contain AI assets in any...

And the kickstarter is now live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thirdkingdom/wilderness-hex-a-day-calendar-and-workbook

Welcome to the News Roundup for the second week in September. It's been another slow week for releases, but there are some goodies in here! Odds & Ents has released TTRPG Digital Notebook Pages, a collection of fourteen player-facing pages designed for the players who maybe aren't the best...

I'm getting ready to launch my next project and have just set the prelaunch Kickstarter page to live. It's going to be a daily wilderness hex calendar, akin to a "word of the day" calendar, except with a new hex, complete with a hook, encounter, or feature, for each day. As part of the project...

We're into September already, and beginning the race towards the end of the year. Sabre Games is having a Labor Day sale, ending tonight, with everything in store 15% off with the code LaborDay2025. Rise up Comus recently released the incredibly well recieved and difficult to get in stock...
